Not sure, Bijju.
"Imports system.io" for example imports (includes) a namespace that you can then refer to in your code, like additional classes.
system.io comes from system.dll (I believe) so you could create a DLL and then make a reference to it in your project, or you can copy a source file to your project.
I used to keep a number of "global" .h files in a special directory that I made known to the compiler, so it would know where to find it. You can probably do the same thing in vb .net, but I've only been using vb .net a month, so I'm learning as I go along. 
Good luck,
Gerry

You used .inc files in pervisous versions of VB?
Are you sure?

He must be talking about VB3. VB4 dropped the support for include files.

Look at the documentation for the Declare statement in the MSDN Library.
If you are using VB6, look at this[^]
If you are using VB.Net, use this[^]

Hi...A databinding error messed up my form, at least from
appearances sake (please see attached picture). But when
I view the code everything seems to be there. Does anyone
know how I can get my form back?
Anyone familiar with this databinding error (DataBinding
could not find a row in the list that is suitable for all
bindings)?
Does anyone know how to configure VB.net so I can easily
change my server name (connection)? I develop on the office network
and then take it to another network to run.
Thanks in advance. Mike

Hello,
I need to connect to an external server from my VB application. I am using Winsock control to connect to the external server. My program runs at a scheduled time. I am not suppose to start a new schedule thread before the first one is done. How to check this using VB or Winsock?
Thanks

Not directly. VB6 "addins" are the way to go to execute custom code integrated to the IDE and handle many mundane tasks. For example, our company wrote a VB addin that does some standards checking when forms are saved.
Addins have a bit of a learning curve to be properly implemented. I've had problems because I wasn't careful about properly handling the life cycle of my addin.

Thanks. That is what I was afraid of. Of course, they wouldn't want to make it easy.;)

I have seen C++ and C# examples but they are way to complex for this newcomer to vb.net. Does anybody have a sample project that I could learn from?
TIA

I guess I should clarify that I can place the OpenFileDialog on the form, but my problem is first how to make it come up when I click on e button, and secondly I need to have multiple files selected go into an array.
Thanks.
Gerry

OK, so I have found OpenFileDialog() and .ShowDialog() and I can copy the results to a listbox for display.
Now the next question is "how do I find the directory name where the files were selected from?" I prefer not to parse it from one of the listbox entries.
Thanks,
Gerry

If all you want to do is browse for a folder, try this:

See my replies (with more info) to myself.
I have discovered over the last few days how to browse to the folder, select files, copy them to a listbox, and then process the files from the listbox.
When I have time this weekend, I will post the project on http://files.danen.org/h/prg_vbnet.shtml for everyone's benefit.
Thanks for your response.

I've found that VB.NET is on the whole much better:
a) Much more consistent syntax than VB6
b) Better debugger and IDE
c) Easier to interop with other stuff (including itself )
d) Library support - reams and reams of .NET goodness
On the other hand, VB6 could be better if you are targeting an environment where you don't want to risk deploying the .NET Framework and all the required patches.
You can probably get started quicker with VB6 too - it's less scary looking.

Ok, I am frustrated! I am trying to find the most optimal way to retrieve Data from a Database. I understand that there are basically 3 ways to do this: 1.) Stored Procedure (DataCommand), 2.) DataSet, 3.) DataReader.
My dilemma is, I do not need to store this data for Saving later on (basically I am loading some ComboBoxes). I would like to use a DataReader but sometimes I hit conflicts where the program tries to open more than one Reader (which can't be done on the Same Connection). I do not want more than one connection. I do NOT want to use a DataSet because I do not want the Overhead of creating one since it's not needed.
I've tried MSSQLXML 3.0 SP2 to retrieve data through XML. I have tried using the SqlCommand.ExecuteXMLReader. Any method that using a "Reader" of some sort basically uses a DataReader behind the scenes!
Is there some way that I can retrieve all of the Records into a Stream of some sort and then loop through it? In VB6 this was easy...I created a Forward Only / Read Only Disconnected Recordset.

 Can anybody help, please tell me how to create a progress bar in VB.Net as soon as the user click on the save button or open a connection to my database(SQL). Thank you so much...

Well, you're going to have to be a little more clear. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to determine the Progress of Opening the Connection? Or are you trying to determine the Progress of Saving Data? Are you using a DataSet, Stored Procedure, or XML file?

Hi !
For VB6 :
<br />
Dim iScreenWidth as integer<br />
Dim iScreenHeight as integer<br />
<br />
iScreenWidth=Screen.Width / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX<br />
iScreenHeight=Screen.Height / Screen.TwipsPerPixelY<br />
I don't know how to do it with VB.NET.
Hope this helps.
